Registration

Registration for the MATE Turkey Regional Competition is now open.

Click your registration category below for more information on how to register and step-by-step tutorials on how to use the Active.com registration system. Please note, registration for teams and team members closes April 1st.

Registration fees are collected PER TEAM when the team is created; team members and additional mentors DO NOT pay a registration fee. The MATE ROV Competition Fee Schedule for 2019 is as follows (fees are listed in $US):

RANGER teams advancing to the International Competition will be required to pay an additional participation fee.

Registering a Team (Lead Mentors/Instructors)

Lead Mentors/Instructors are the primary mentor for the team - the "Responsible Adult" that is the main point of contact. A Lead Mentor/Instructor should be available to answer any and all e-mails that may come from competition coordinators. The Lead Mentor SHOULD NOT BE an active team student participant.

Please note that throughout the team creation process you will be called the "Team Captain" - this is OK! Your team will still need to identify a participating student to serve as the "Company CEO," but that is not required when registering your team.

You must create a distinct team name for each of your teams - no matter how many teams you are registering. If you are registering more than one team, you will need to submit separate registration forms.

Registration fee payments are credit card ONLY. Registration fees cannot be refunded or transferred to future years or other teams.

All participating students MUST have their registration completed and all waivers signed by the registration deadline in order to participate. If you have students without internet access at home, print the appropriate waiver pages to send home to the student's parent/legal guardian to fill in. Once you have received the completed, signed copies, you can complete the student's registration process on behalf of the parents/guardians. Copies of the signed proxy and waiver forms must be e-mailed or snail-mailed to your regional coordinator. There is no need to do this for all students - just those whose parents do not have access to the internet. Click here for the necessary waivers packet.

Each competition class (SCOUT, NAVIGATOR, RANGER, and EXPLORER) has a different Team Creation registration portal. You will need to register your team in the appropriate competition class - to help you through the registration process, we have created a step-by-step tutorial available here.

Once the lead mentor/instructor has registered your team, he/she will send you an e-mail inviting you to "join the team." Follow the link within the e-mail to register yourself on the team. If the team requires a password to join, the lead mentor/instructor will need to provide it to you.

You should be prepared to sign and complete the waivers and media releases required to complete registration.

Parents/Guardians of Student Participants Under 18

Once your student's instructor or mentor registers your team, he/she will send an e-mail inviting them to “join the team.” If the team requires a password to join, the lead mentor/instructor will need to provide it to you. As the parent/legal guardian, you must complete the registration process for your underage student. A step-by-step tutorial for how to use the Active.com registration system can be found here.

All students participating on a team are required to register. Students who are not registered, with fully completed waivers prior to the registration deadline will not be able to participate.
